PACKAGE FOR oooos.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 515,881, dated March 6,1894.

Application filed March 29, 1893. Serial No. 468,156. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN W. KIRKPATRICK,

' of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Packages for containingreceptacles of suitable form for the reception of the bottles or otherarticles to be placed in the package. These two parts are to be placedwith their faces toward each other, around these two parts is to beplaced a rim of paper,-paste-board or other suitable material of a widthsubstantially equal to the depth of the two parts when placed together,and over this may be placed for greater security a cover like a boxwithout a top, that is, a piece having a bottom and sides,but no top,the whole being suitably fastened. The rim is not to be attached to thepackage, but is a separate piece, fitting tightly over the box so as tohold the parts in position, but capable of being readily removed and ofbeing again put upon the box.

I design to use my invention also as a display stand, as well. as apackage, for the purpose of exhibiting the bottles or other goodscontained therein, in which case the cover and rim would be dispensedwith and the two parts united by double hinges; so that when the twopartsare put together with their faces toward each other, a complete boxis formed, and when it is opened, the two parts may be turned with thefaces outward. In this waya display stand is produced without the use ofany supporting piece, and both parts are available for display purposes.

In the drawings I have shown in Figure 1, plan views of the two partsinto which the bottles to be packed are placed; in Fig. 2, a similarview of the rim; in Fig. 3, a longitudinal section of my package, and inFig. 4, a

perspective view of my invention when used as a display stand, the twoparts a, and b, united by means of double hinges, being opened outwardand placed upright so as to show the contentsl a, and b, are the twoparts into which botties or other goods are to be placed, and havingtherein the places 0, c, for holding the same.

01, is the rim.

2, is the cover.

f, is the hinge uniting the two parts when used as a display stand.

What Iclaim,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The improved package composed of two parts made of paper-pulp orother suitable material, each part containing receptacles for thereception of bottles, or other articles, in combination with a separaterim'piece, fitting tightly over the package so as to hold the two partstogether, and capable of being readily removed therefrom, substantiallyas, and for the purpose above described.
